Moderation

Warnings, Strikes, and Bans

Leaders have the ability to give community specific bans or strikes to members who violate the guidelines of their community. If you break the rules, you may receive any of the following:

Warning - The leader's way of letting you know you've violated the guidelines and are at risk of more serious consequences

Strike - Puts you in read-only mode for that community for 1-24 hours

Ban - Removes access to that community

Go to the Left Side Panel and click “Community Guidelines” to read the rules for your community. If you are a leader who wants to add guidelines, see more here.

Separately, Team Amino may Strike or Ban users across the entire platform for certain violations of Amino's Guidelines.

Disabling Content

Leaders are likely to disable your content if it is perceived as spam, off-topic, attention-seeking, harassing, disruptive, or otherwise violates the specific Guidelines located in the Left Side Panel of each Amino.

When Leaders disable your content, they are encouraged to send a message explaining their reason. We encourage you to discuss the situation with the Leader of your Amino.

Team Amino's Role

Team Amino has many tools to help keep communities safe, friendly, and fun. We help leaders by providing tons of moderation support, especially with inappropriate content. If you have questions about how Team Amino contributes to moderation, feel free to contact us via Support.

What content does Amino proactively moderate?

We have a team of moderators working across seven languages, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. This team reviews content that is reported to us by other users. We also use technology to help us detect policy violations before other users have to report it us.

These tools help us look for things like hateful content, dangerous activity, or pornographic and nude images sent on the platform. Much of this content is automatically removed to minimize its presence on the platform.

If you had content removed that you believe does not violate any of our Guidelines and does, in fact, belong on Amino, you can always appealthis decision.

We take the safety of our platform extremely seriously and work to prevent users from encountering content that violates our Community Guidelines.
